Long-term energy scenarios: the approach of the World Energy Council

This paper outlines the six WEC/IIASA scenarios, which began life in 1993 as three 'cases' or scenario families, and which are now regarded as the 'state of the art' in this field. They were published in detail in N. Nakicenovic et al. (1998) Global Energy Perspectives, Cambridge University Press. The fully integrated scenarios present a rational range of possible energy and carbon dioxide emissions outcomes to 2100.

On October 12, 2016, EPA convened a public advisory committee teleconference of the Biogenic Carbon Emissions Panel. This advisory meeting discussed comments from chartered Science Advisory Board (SAB) members from the draft report on EPA’s Framework for Assessing Biogenic CO2 Emissions from Stationary Sources. The SAB panel announced plans to overhaul the current draft report to provide emission examples at various time scales. This change, to include longer time spans, is supported by industry professionals...

Landfill taxes and ‘enhanced waste management’ practices have been introduced to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill and to convert waste into useful products. This study investigated the interplay of these two policy options in Belgium, generating findings that could help Europe move towards a resource-efficient, circular economy.

Study looks at why some states could be impacted more than others if a price is put on carbon.
Original story at MIT News
How much will your cost of living rise if a price is put on carbon? According to a newstudyinTheEnergy Journal,the answer may depend on where you live — and how policymakers define who’s ultimately responsible for human-made carbon emissions.
On first glance, it might seem intuitive to impose a price on carbon where emissions are generated, from manufacturing facilities to power...
